[QUOTE="44-40, post: 2860550, member: 126985"] It Wasn't supposed to be a "****ing contest".. don't make me drag out the 30" 8 twist 308 on a long action chasis with 3.4" long cartridges out of the mag. Then add the hybrid bimetal cases. Totally juiced up over 3900 ft /lbs of muzzle energy 80,000 psi hybrid 308 cases. Like 168 match 3255 fps, 225 ELDM 2719 fps, or 200 SMK. 715 BC 2952 fps. Totally out of bounds but it is a 308 case. I have 30 plus yrs with the 308 case, and build my own rifles, and chamber and throat for specific purposes. My standard Lapua brass loads mag feed for this 30" 8 twist is 200 gr SMK .715 BC 2856 fps ave mag feed with 3.4" mags. or 230 Atip .823 BC at 2620 fps 225 eldm .777 BC 2675 fps I was gonna throat it for 250 Atips .878BC but it shoots well with the 200s to 230 where its at with standard Lapua brass...but 250 Atip with 30" barrel should get to 2500 fps with the full 3.4" mag capacity ...without introducing the hybrid cases with extra high pressure. I PRC'd the 308..but any case can be improved upon...depending on availability of powders, with respect to case capacity and pressure it can be run at...the bimetal hybrid cases really improve the 6.5 Creedmoor to magnum performance. But I aint gonna hunt with any of these. Probably be a well worn, altered, model 7 350 Rem Mag 250 gr 2630 fps or 200 gr 2940 fps, 20" short, fast, comfortable warm pilliar bedded walnut, with 2.910" feed mag, tactical bolt , low power 3-9 , 2-7, or 2-10 X scope, ...will meet all my needs.
